I'm explicitly creating the new issue at the suggestion of #4226. My plan is to write this myself next week, and it seems like it won't be too hard based on #5439. It is almost always a bug to hold onto a RefCell ref across an await point.

@glommer requests such a thing in this blog post: https://medium.com/@glaubercosta_11125/c-vs-rust-an-async-thread-per-core-story-28c4b43c410c
